At the Community College of Denver we are interested in the role of undergraduate research as a pedagogical tool to help create and support pathways for students in transferring to four year universities and in entering the work place with specific skills. We developed and are implementing a four pronged model of research development designed to merge with the logistical and political realities of the college while affording enough room for growth and development of the program. This model is designed to develop research opportunities on the course level, the interdisciplinary level, and the interinstitutional level. This presentation will feature some examples of student’s experiences in this effort, what their outcomes have been, and the effect that the early development if research is having at the Community College of Denver.
